Assist Thy Servant Lord- William Dossey 1820 (on-line version)

Assist thy servant Lord
The gospel to proclaim;
Let power and love attend the word,
And every breast inflame.

Bid unbelief depart;
With love his soul inflame;
Take full possession of his heart,
And glorify thy name.

May stubborn sinners bend
To thy divine control;
Constrain the wand'ring to attend.
And make the wounded whole.

Assist Thy Servant Lord- William Dossey 1820 Version from The Choice: 277. S. M. Divine Assistance invoked.

1. Assist thy servant, Lord,    
The gospel to proclaim; 
Let power and love attend the word.  
And every breast inflame.

2. Bid unbelief depart,—
Banish the fear of man;
Take full possession of his heart,  
And glorify thy name.
 
3. Make stubborn sinners bend
To thy divine control;
Constrain the wandering to attend,  
And make the wounded whole.

4. Extend thy conquering arm,
With banner wide unfurl'd,
Until thy glorious grace shall charm,  
And harmonize the world.
